Feather and Stone | Orchestrated Stylized Shoots

Orchestrated's Feather and Stone commemorates the rich Native American history in the Las Vegas region. The Paiute [pie-yute] inhabited the region before modern civilization came. "As a people the Paiute are peaceable, moral, and industrious, and are highly commended for their good qualities by those who have had the best opportunities for judging. They possess more solidity of character." [source] Like all Native American tribes, the Paiute respected and revered nature and the land. And because of that, they are closely tied to the natural beauty that surrounds the Vegas Strip.

And on the personal, more casual side, we wanted to commemorate the true Las Vegas history beyond the glitz and glamour with eco-friendly and sustainable resources, and of course, the beauty of the desert. Springs Preserve in Las Vegas was the perfect venue for us and our theme, not only in scenery, but in philosophy. As stated on their website: “Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978, the Springs Preserve is a 180-acre cultural institution designed to commemorate Las Vegas’ dynamic history and to provide a vision for a sustainable future.” It couldn’t have been more perfect than that! With the help of Angelica of Green Orchid Events, we were bound to have awesome fun, community, and eye candy.

If you want to really get a feel for how Orchestrated works and what type of community we hope to foster, you should definitely watch the film below. :) Not only did I do some major happy dances when I found out Jeremy was going to be at WPPI and available for the event, but I'm pretty sure if I could do a cartwheel, one would have happened when I saw the final film he created for Feather and Stone.
